Mr.. f. c. Adams, gentleman who
has held the Office of Circuit Clerk of

and made one of the most efficient,
upright and honest officials Franklin
county has ever had, was defeated for
his Office at the last election. Not on

his eldest daughter, Mrs. Della Webb.
Then following close upon this mis-
fortune his eldest son, james, sicken-

then it seems as though the Fates
could not deal harshly enough with
him, the grim monster death carried
off his youngest son, Bythel, two
weeks ago. Mr.. Adams lost leg in
the last COnfederacy, is a man of pro-

warmest sympathy of every good man
and woman in this land. He is a
good clerk, and if any firm anywhere

For the Good Of Brookhaven.

than We have 10 spafe this week, 70 say
all We could say under this heading
Our object now is merely to- suggest To our
leading citizens the holding ola public
MEETING at some time in the early future
and organizing into committee of the
whole to discuss measures looking to the
material. moral, educational, and other
interests of our city, and endeavOr to de-
wise some means whereby all these may
lie best promoted, aud all work in harmo-
ny for the accomplishment Of that pnr-
pose. Other towns are organizing in thia
way and great results may he accom-.
plished by Brookhaven's following their
example. In the past, we think our
people have been going entirely too much
on the principle Of every nan- for-himself,
aud there has not been enough public
spirit and study Of the interests Of our
town as whole.
We throw ont these suggestions now,
aud hope BrookhaveniteS will think the
subject over, and See If they wont decide
it good plan to hold a public meeting of
our representative citizens at all early
day to devise measures for promoting the
common good. The mere bringing of our
leading business men together foI such
purpose would be something gained rs
compared with the past. Think about it,
and let's have a meeting. BroOkhaven
